AN INTERNATIONAL BLOG ON THE SOURCES OF INSPIRATION AND VERTICAL TIMES OF OUR LIFE

The net offers plenty of advice on the proper behavior, correct outfit, best place to stay, dine or relax with a cocktail or a glass of champagne… but no website describing those sources of inspiration, grand gestures, classy attitudes, admirable personalities and exceptional places that lead to the most precious of moments: that of sharing a moment, an experience, with someone.

Through classy colibri we would like to share with our followers our thoughts and feelings about those privileged moments.

This is an international blog, like its authors: posts are written in both English and French, by She-colibri and He-colibri. You will always find in the posts a link to your preferred language.

We have sought to understand where our motivations come from. In all aspects of life, one needs to take a first step. That first step will lead to many more, and eventually to travel the world et to pursue our dreams, our aims. All the while, we endeavor to grow, better ourselves, rise above challenges and live our life in agreement with ourselves.

With our experiences, joys, fears, expectations – fulfilled and unfulfilled – comes a clearer understanding of what we are looking for. In the words of the character played by Claude Brasseur in the movie Fauteuils d’orchestre, we slowly become conscious that “the time that passes is the time we have left“.

Inspiration is what keeps us moving forward. Through classy colibri we wish to share with you our sources of inspiration in the hope of procuring first and foremost an enjoyable read and, perhaps, a desire to discover a certain lifestyle in which to find sense and motivation.

Our intentions are sincere and true. Our quest for a certain savoir-vivre is not driven by imitation of, or desire to enter, a social or intellectual class to which we do not belong. On the contrary, it stems from the need to live right and in accordance with certain values too often disregarded, such as elegance, grandeur and valiant spirit.
